Sometimes I think I`m going out of my mind, the thought of living without ever seeing you in this lifetime is just more than I can handle. I wish there were phones in heaven dad so we could talk all day, catch up with all the gossip, the way we used to do. I`m sending you lots of hugs and kisses from Ryann and I. Love you dad, keep you in my heart forever xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sheila xxxxxxxxxxxx

Everyone has said what an amazing day we gave you, simply a beautiful send off and it was everyone came to say goodbye. Words aren`t enough to say how much I`m missing you. I`m not sure if I can take anymore, life go`s on or it gets better. This I know dad but right now it`s not making any sense to me. I hope they are all looking after you and I wish I were with you I love you dad xxxxxxxxx Sheila xxxxxxxxxxx
